Bates Men's 8-Inch Durashocks Side Zip Tactical Boots provide comfort and durability for heavy movement on all terrains. Whether you need to go on patrol or hike through harsh terrain, you'll remain comfortable and protected with these boots thanks to Bates Durashocks technology. The insoles contain compression pads that reduce shock with every step. The outsole and boot are connected using stitch-out welt construction which is much stronger than cement glues and also creates a flexible boot. The two parts are sewn together instead of glued.

These boots will last no matter what you put them through. The full-grain leather is strong and won't wear out over time. The 1680 denier nylon is lighter than other nylon for easy wear, but also strong enough to take impacts and resist tears. The nylon also promotes breathability to keep your feet dry. These boots will work as hard as you do.

You'll wear the boots well and comfortably. The lace-to-toe design allows the laces to tighten snugly around the ankles to prevent a loose fit. The rubber outsole is slip-resistant for wet terrain, and the breathable lining keeps you dry. With the side zipper, you won't have to lace your boots all the time.

Bates has been the proud maker of performance uniform footwear since 1885. Armed with the latest in innovation and technology, Bates brings you a line of tactical boots built for the most physically challenging jobs – styles that will help keep you comfortable and safe, no matter how intense the situation.

Bates

Fit is an essential ingredient in footwear. Properly fit Bates
shoes and boots will be comfortable to wear right out of the box;
they don't need to be "broken in." There are few simple guidelines
that if followed can make the process easy:

Tap your heel back in the heel cup and lace the boot. The
boot should feel snug across the ball, around the instep, and in the
heel. The arch should be comfortably supported and the toes should
be free to wiggle and curl.

The toes should not jam into the front of the boot. Check
this by lightly tapping the toe of the boot into the floor. If the
boot fits correctly, the toes should gently touch the end of the
boot.
